That’s what I get for not watching this website... I missed the library opening until last Friday, and I had been specifically watching for it.

It’s absolutely beautiful!!  Huge!!  Has a drive thru book drop (which unfortunately is only open when the library is closed) Self serve check out and return multiple copies of new books...  I was like a pig in your know what!!

Unfortunately, I was specifically watching for the grand opening and missed it , also. In fact, I have been following the county web site all summer, hoping to find that it would open earlier than October, and I had just checked the web site for the county library system on a Sunday -- all it said was "coming soon" , as it had said all summer, same picture, etc-- and 5 days later - that Friday - it was open, with the grand opening reception on Saturday. I found out Tuesday afternoon around 3:30 when I drove past & saw patrons walking out. I was very disappointed that this was not publicized better. I suspect that a number of residents would liked to have been a part of history.
